Subject: [PATCH 3/6] mm/hugetlb: add sysfs interfaces for cache
Date: Tue,  7 Jul 2026 06:42:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707064235.1386552-4-souravpanda@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707064235.1386552-1-souravpanda@google.com>

Introduce sysfs interfaces to control and monitor the HugeTLB dynamic
cache.

Expose the following attributes under:
/sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-<size>/
- max_cached_huge_pages: Max limit of cached hugepages (global).
- nr_cached_hugepages: Current number of cached hugepages. Writing to
  this file allows manual expansion or contraction of the cache.
  These interfaces support writing delta values (e.g. "+1" or "-1")
  in addition to absolute values, allowing orchestrators (e.g. borglet)
  to dynamically scale the cache without racing against the kernel
  shrinker.

Also expose node-specific versions under node sysfs if CONFIG_NUMA.

Implement adjust_cached_huge_pages to handle the actual expansion
(allocating fresh hugepages to cache) and contraction
(freeing cached hugepages to buddy).

For expansion and contraction correctness:
- Global expansion interleaves allocations across allowed nodes.
- Node-specific expansion enforces the global cache limit ceiling and
  overcommit limits, uses __GFP_THISNODE to prevent fallback, and accounts
  to the actual allocated node using folio_nid().
- Contraction uses LRU (Least Recently Used) policy (taking from the
  head of the cache list) to discard cold pages first.
